Chapter 47: Into the City
I saw the Empress Dowager coming out of it.
Princess Sparrow hurriedly asked, "Is the Queen Mother's sister okay?" ”
Empress Dowager De smiled awkwardly: "A little misunderstanding, she will come over after a while." ”
Bai Ling glanced at the princess, and the two got up together to say goodbye.
"It's still early, let's play a little more!" Empress Dowager De said.
Princess Finch said, "No, thank you for your hospitality today!" Please tell the Queen Mother, we will visit another day! ”
The Empress Dowager watched them leave, and muttered to herself, "This is leaving?" The palace hasn't shared it yet, but the king's happy event is here..."
In front of the gates of the Imperial City.
The procession of pedestrians and carriages waiting to enter and exit was lined up in two long queues that did not see the head and the tail, moving slowly.
Officers and soldiers were facing an old couple pushing two tall cart baskets.
"Where's the people? What do you do when you go into the city? What's pushing in the car? The officer asked repeatedly.
"The little old man's family lives in Dongwozi Village, outside the city, and the family has saved some cotton, and the little girl is about to get married, and plans to go to the city to sell them for some dowry." The old man's wrinkled face was full of caution and flattery.
The officer lifted a cart basket and grabbed a few handfuls with his hands, and sure enough, it was white cotton.
In the worried gaze of the old couple.
He took his spear and stabbed it into the pile of cotton, and when he saw that nothing was wrong, he opened another cart basket.
After the two car baskets were all checked, he waved his big hand: "Go!" ”
The old couple staggered and pushed the cart toward the city with great gratitude.
The officer shouted, "Next." Where are the people? What do you do when you go into the city? ”
Before he could finish his words, he saw several carriages speeding towards him, and the dust flying behind them was like a dragon that was winding and dancing.
After seeing the pattern on the carriage clearly, he hurriedly commanded: "His Royal Highness King Ding is coming, everyone retreats to both sides!" ”
Soon a wide road was cleared.
Everyone bowed their heads, and three low-key black carriages slowed down slightly and drove past the city gates.
It wasn't until the sound of the horse's hooves died down that the officer raised his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The old couple who had just stepped into the city gate, like the others, respectfully avoided the roadside, watching King Ding's carriage pass by, and gradually drove away.
Normal order was restored to the city gates, and the officers began to check the next group of people entering the city.
The old couple glanced at each other, and a mocking smile hung on the corners of their mouths.
The black carriage stopped in front of the Dingwang Mansion, and Uncle Huang, the housekeeper of the palace, was already waiting there.
Li Yi jumped out of the car and asked, "Uncle Huang, can Su Lao's room be cleaned up?" ”
Uncle Huang said respectfully: "Don't worry, it has been arranged." ”
Li Yi nodded: "Hard work!" ”
As he spoke, Su Lao had already stepped on the footstool and got out of the carriage, and he smiled at Uncle Huang: "It seems that I have to bother my brother for a while!" ”
Uncle Huang also smiled and said, "Welcome! ”
Uncle Huang was an old man who served by the side of the first emperor before, and he was an old friend of Su Lao, and the two had to greet each other for a long time when they met.
On the other side, Liu Han stretched out his hand towards Xiaoyang.
The other party showed that he didn't appreciate it, but he saw her avoid his hand, snorted coldly, jumped lightly from the side, and landed in style.
When he was done, he glanced at him triumphantly.
Liu Han embarrassedly sat in Fang Cai's posture, stretched his waist and yawned.
Li Yi seemed to have long been familiar with the scene just now, and his gaze crossed Liu Han and fell on Xiao Yang.
"Miss Guo Er, if you want to stay here temporarily, it will only be one night?"
Xiao Yang looked at the sky, the sun had already set in the treetops, and it was about to sink to the other side of the mountain.
"Then the king will be troubled! Tomorrow I will go into the palace to find my sister! ”
Liu Han smiled and said, "Since everyone has stayed, then I will barely stay here for a night!" ”
Li Yi didn't hear it, and said, "That's it, Miss Guo Er, please!" ”
Xiaoyang: "There is labor! ”
Su Lao: "Brother, let's go in too!" ”
Uncle Huang: "Please! ”
Yoo Han: ......
After dinner, several people got busy.
Xiao Yang's room was arranged in the middle of Su Lao and Liu Han.
At this time, Li Yi and Liu Han were discussing in the study.
Su Lao was busy placing the precious medicinal herbs.
Xiaoyang sat alone at the table, looking at the peach blossom branches in the vase, thinking about his thoughts.
She took out the font hidden in her sleeve and looked at it again.
The father and daughter of the Guo family, except for the eldest daughter Xiaoguo, the other two more or less recognize some words.
Yang'er:
If one day, Daddy doesn't say goodbye, don't miss it, don't look for it! Blood is thicker than water, you two sisters must support each other! Maybe our father and daughter will say goodbye to that day! Treasure!
Old man Guo book
Xiao Yang looked at his father's crooked handwriting, like an earthworm crawling, and laughed: "Daddy finally admits that he is a bad old man!" ”
Laughing and laughing, tears blurred her vision, and her shoulders moved slightly, and she sobbed suppressedly.
Daddy, where the hell are you?
Why don't you bring me along?
At this time, can you warm up and eat warm?
At this time, not far from the Dingwang Mansion, there was a seemingly ordinary mansion.
In the courtyard was a dilapidated cart parked, and two huge crates had been discarded haphazardly on the ground, and the cotton flowers inside had disappeared.
The lights in the house are flickering, and the scenery is beautiful.
The sound of the man's rough breathing, mixed with the woman's delicate gasping and begging for mercy, came from time to time.
In the next room, sat an old woman with pale sideburns and a hideous face.
She ignored the voices coming from next door, and instead stared at the haystack on the ground, her face changing uncertainly.
In the cellar under a pile of hay lay a man of flesh and blood, dying.
He was still unconscious, and the high fever and wounds on his body made him grunt in pain.
I don't know how long later, the man next door let out a low roar, and the whole room fell silent.
It didn't take long for a woman's voice to sound: "Brother Shi, Ru'er is already your person!" In the future, you don't want to lose people! ”
A young man replied, "We grew up together, don't you know me?" When we rescue your mother, we will get married! ”
The woman was moved: "Brother Shi, you are so good!" ”
As soon as her voice changed, she said hatefully: "Damn! Let the surnamed Hu escape in vain! ”
The man said vaguely: "He won't be able to jump for a few days, and then we will catch this bed bug when we are alone here!" ”
The candle flame is blown out.
The man's voice was a little tired: "Go to bed early!" ”
The woman snorted.
After a while, she asked again, "King Ding is not easy to deal with, do you have a good way?" ”
The man sneered: "No matter how powerful he is, he is just a person, and if he is a human being, he has a fatal weakness!" We just need to grasp his weakness and threaten him, so that he will not let go! ”
Achilles heel?
In the darkness, Green Ru's eyes widened, and he tried to recall what he had to say about the king.
Her gaze traced the blurred outline of the window lattice over and over again, and a trick crept into her mind.
A sneer curled into the corners of her mouth, and the deep breath of the stone was already coming from beside her.
